`MapLapse` is a Python-based library to create animated timelapse maps from given shapefiles. It is mainly built on top of `geopandas` and `matplotlib`, along with other open-source geospatial packages.

## Key Features

- Animated **choropleth** maps

- Animated **proportional circle** maps

- Supports output in `.gif` and `.mp4`

## Example

The `Animator` object of `maplapse` can easily create the animations. Here is a code snippet:

```

anim = Animator(shape='/county_shape.shp',

                value='/century_data.csv',

                time_column='Year',

                data_column='Value',

                shape_unique_column='ST_CNT',

                map_type='choropleth',

                out_path='/animation.gif')

anim.animate()

```

Output:
